    The Foot.ie Challenge

    A group of us have been doing this on the Derry forums, join up and compete every day, the more the merrier:

    http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/T...nge-86537.html



    It only takes a few seconds to sign up!

    New questions will appear each day, and everyone can compare scores at the link above throughout the day. Try to answer questions quickly, because the quizzes are timed. The best cumulative scores at the end of the month go into the hall of fame.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    I thought the questions were easier today. Only one guess for the perfect ten.

    Anyone notice my username on there is missing an s, apparently the underlined part makes it unacceptable to their swear filter: passinginterest

    You lead todays. I'm happy enough with my 9/10 in 45 secs.

    Completing it quickly can sometimes make up for the odd point loss as time is a factor as well.

    Very much so, should have done the same thing.
    Are they the same ten questions everyone gets then? (based on passinginterest's comment)

    I think they might be different, I don't remember having a baseball question.
    Yesterday I had one about ice skating which I didn't have a clue of.

    Slightly different to prevent people doing it with multiple logins.

    The more people taking part the more fun it is.

    It also gets quite competative towards the end of the month.

    Delighted with my first win and in the lead again today. Only the 9/10 this time though.

    Bow to my superior general knowledge mere mortals.

    Back on track. Did realise it was timed but still had to stop, hazard of doing it at work!
    Oh, and had to guess two as well.
    Did anyone else get a question on the Dutch hockey team? What mad way was that worded? Took a pile of seconds to figure out what it meant only to eventually realise it was gibberish!
